Finds AT&T Customer Arbitration Agreement Void Law360 (June 28, 2019, 8:51 PM EDT) -- AT&T's arbitration agreement with a customer is void, a panel of Ninth Circuit judges ruled Friday, upholding a lower-court order that threw away the tribunal award in a decade-old class action alleging that the telecommunications giant misled consumers before pummeling them with exorbitant overseas roaming fees. "We respectfully disagree with the court's decision, which we believe is inconsistent with the arbitration provision agreed upon by the parties, the Federal Arbitration Act, and United States Supreme Court precedent," AT&T spokesperson Jim Kimberly told Law360 on Friday. https://www.law360.com/articles/1174146/9th-circ-finds-at-t-customer-arbitration-agreement-void -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190629174804.GA26790@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Sat, 29 Jun 2019 17:48:04 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Verizon At Risk In 5G Battle With AT&T, According To Analyst By John Anon There's no doubt the battle of 5G in the U.S. comes down to AT&T and Verizon. There are other players in the mix, most notable T-Mobile (or the 'New T-Mobile'), but most perceive the race to be first (and by association, the race to lead 5G) as between AT&T and Verizon. However, MoffettNathanson analyst, Craig Moffett, (via Light Reading) suggests there might not be much of a battle at all. At least, during the opening 5G years and unless Verizon makes some clear changes to its rollout strategy. According to Moffett, AT&T, and even T-Mobile are currently better positioned to transition to 5G than Verizon. https://www.androidheadlines.com/2019/06/verizon-risky-5g-att-battle.html -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190629180801.GA26989@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Sat, 29 Jun 2019 18:08:01 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: CenturyLink Default Usernames & Passwords The default credentials needed to login to your CenturyLink router These CenturyLink credentials are needed when doing a login to the CenturyLink router's web interface to change any settings.
